I agree that he definetly feels he is losing control with the sale of the house.
I also think he doesn't want to look like the bad guy. He said to me that he doesn't want me to turn around after and accuse him of it being his fault we sold the house at that price. He wants it to look like we sold the house because it was my choice not his. More of him being the victim.
I did speak with my lawyer. He is going to get the ball rolling on getting the permit for the shed because he says otherwise you will never sell it and ex is no help. The realtor was appreciative of this because she said ex was being stubborn. She even said "I don't understand him. He is the one who was pushing to sell this house and even wanted to drop it to a really low price and now that you got an offer he is putting up roadblocks".
I also talked with a mortgage broker from the current mortgage company we use. He said it is quite do-able to get a mortgage, the only thing that might hold me back is my bad credit rating (do to the divorce). However he said it was quite possible and I would qualify for more of a mortgage than I previoulsy thought do to the fact that I can put a lot down on a house upfront. This makes me feel a bit better. I will end up in a really small house but at least it will be mine. However, in the meantime I will probably have to go into a rental because the process will take longer and the buyers for my house want to be in by the new school year.
On another note, S5 had a fever Thurs/Friday night so I took him to the doctor yesterday. He wasn't complaning of anything hurting, he just had a fever. They did a strep test but it came back negative, however, I just got a call this morning saying they sent out an overnight throat culture and it came back positive.
Ex has the boys so I called him up and left him a message letting him know. I didn't here back from him so I sent him a TM instead. A while passed and still no call back so I called him again. This time he answered:
Me: Did you get my messages?
Ex: Yea, S5 has strep. (nice of him to call me back)
Me: Yes, I have to pick up his medicine so can we meet half way later so I can give it to you?
Ex: Why does he have to take medicine, he seems fine to me.
Me: Because he has strep.
Ex: Says who?
Me: The doctor...he took a strep test there yesterday but it came back negative so they sent an overnight culture out and it came back positive.
Ex: Well I think he's fine.
Me: He needs medicine so it doesn't turn into anything worse. He even had a fever in the doctor's office yesterday.
Ex: Fine
He finally agreed to meet me.
I swear, he is half retarted or something.
I also found out that he still has not paid May's tuition for my S5's preschool. The money that he owes around is just getting ridiculos.
I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
These boards seem rather quite these days. I hope that is a good thing.
